It was a surprise to see the Chiefs lose today to the Browns. This may have costed them a wildcard. I see the Jets sneacking in now.
 
Jets-playing well, easy schedule
Jags
 
Cincy and Denver. I will give an outside chance to the Jets just because of their schedule. But I think the Bengals, Broncos, and Chiefs are better teams than the Jets.
 
Just to help the discussion, remaining schedules: (All are now 7-5)

Jets: BUF, @MIN, @MIA, OAK
KC: BALT, @SD, @OAK, JAX
JAX: IND, @TEN, NE, @KC
DEN: @SD, @ARI, CIN, SF
CIN: OAK, @IND, @DEN, PIT

Actually, hopefully this KC loss makes them desperate and they beat Baltimore at home next week, which can help us out.

And remember JAX pasted the Jets, so they win any two way head-to-head tiebreaker. I haven't checked for any other head-to-head tiebreakers.

That said

KC and Cincy will be the wild cards..

as of today , we play denver...i would rather play denver than cincy or jets

That's in part because Denver was 7-4 when the article came out. They are now 7-5, so that might change. They are in good shape with the conference tiebreaker since all their wins have been in the AFC.

Edit: ESPN just updated, and Denver is still 5th. Forget what I said :)

I would pick the Jets and Cincy. And I'd prefer to play the Jets. Prior games this year aside, that Bengal passing game scares the heck out of me.

Denver, I'll give you, but we will DESTROY the jets. they won by a FG after we played HORRIBLY and they played a very good game.
 
I would most want to face Jacksonville in the first round.

As for who will make it in as wildcards, I think Cincinnati gets in for sure. Not sure about the last spot.

Jax-too many injuries

Denver-Cutler is not the short-term answer

My guesses are Cincy and KC.
 
I would HAVE to say the Jesters have the inside track...and that is FINE!! They do NOT scare at all...come in an dplay on a field like that...BARELY win..they play the Patriots and go DOWN big time..So I hope they make it in...
I'm thinking Denver...BUT...it could be any of the other 3...really do NOT want to play Denver and shanny...Cinci maybe has an easier way...but I will got for Jets Broncos...
 
The great thing about the West is that they can all kill each other. San Diego still has another game with Denver and KC. Hopefully they will lose one of those along with the game in Seattle. Baltimore has to go to Seattle and that is always a though place to play. If we win out, we will have the second seed. Don't know if it will do us any good - we are a much better road team.
